Bombay High Court Orders Reopening of Five MCA Eateries After FDA License Suspension Withdrawn
The Bombay High Court directed the Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to withdraw its suspension of five restaurants operating on the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) premises in Bandra-Kurla Complex. A fresh FDA inspection found the eateries 88% compliant with food safety rules. The court criticized the FDA for taking a 'pedantic instead of pragmatic view' and allowed the restaurants to reopen while the FDA will separately examine contractual issues involving third-party operator Shirke Infrastructure.
